• Beeh Patata

    Memories are myopic? Are they?? Well I don’t completely agree to this belief, since I am amongst those who dwell in beautiful past. I hate to look at reprehensible stuff around me, but unfortunately I am always forced to throw myself in pits of gloom, corruption, political vested interests and rising prices and declining bank balances. Pity, I can’t turn my eyes off the budging ugly head of terrorism and hatred but I wish I was allowed to be self occupied, innocent, energetic and bubbly kid forever and ever and ever! Well, I don’t wear wishbones where my backbone ought…

  • Sweet and Spicy ~A Life with You

    It seems like only yesterday That our wedding date was set; Although it’s been so many years, The memories linger yet. I guess that we’ve experienced life, In almost every form. We’ve enjoyed the greatest pleasures And weathered every storm, We’ve walked together side by side, As we traveled on through life; And I have always felt so proud, That you chose me for your wife. Happy Anniversary Dear ! (I had somewhere read this poem,though i am unable to locate the origin right now,but it lingered in my memory since then !) Marriage….Its a  strange but divine, difficult but…

  • Falooda Icecream

    Falooda Icecream: Pic. Updated The gloomy situation at south Mumbai is the most scariest of News that we had heard till this date. The terror pangs are surely felt by each and every common man, who can’t think beyond Roti, kapda aur makaan (food, clothing and shelter). Yet it is always that same common man who is targeted again and again for no fault of his/her. How long will we be vulnerable to such attacks? The debate could go on and on, but I want to, sort of run away from all this, cause I don’t want to feel drained…

But as we all know, happiness is short lived, so no sooner I started enjoying lazy afternoons, my son announced his boredom and with the demands  of  some more computer games (some ?? ), few more outings and some more window shopping in malls. Apart from visits to park and making home his cricket ground, he complained of unavailability of amusements . So when…

  • Gyarsi Dhodho-Bhaji~Ekadashi Fasting Food

    Sindhis are observing Vadhi Gyars or Ekadashi fast today. A heavy Dhodho (Flatbread) with potato curry could not be a fasting food for me, but it tastes delicious for sure! Ekadashi means the eleventh lunar day (Tithi) of the shukla (bright) or krishna (dark) paksha (fortnight) of every lunar month in the Hindu calendar (Panchang) (Wikipedia) Sindhis observe Vadhi Gyaras or Badi Ekadashi (Prabhodhini) with exuberance, avoiding grains for the whole day. Evenings are generally spend on arrangements for Tulsi ji shaadi (Tulsi Vivah), followed by the rituals of Tulsi marriage and singing prayers and songs and sharing food. At…
